Bedford Injury: First Time I Have Seen This...

Submitted by Dr. Detroit on November 23rd, 2019 at 6:17 PM

This is the first time I have ever seen a player go down, and as soon as he looked bad the opposing team coaches were down there looking out for him until his own could get there.

I know it was right in front of the bench, but I had never seen this before.  It shows how much these coaches care.  It's an opponent, but he looked bad.  Good job M coaches.

I've seen it.  Most coaches would do the same even though we make the higher profile guys out to be satanistic assholes.  They do care about these football players.

Really? This happens all the time, sorry to say. Still nice of them and all, but let's not make it a bigger deal than it is. We're not saints, the rest of college football aren't devils.

What I haven't seen before is not making sure the player is fully in the cart when driving. I kept expecting his cleat to catch in the turf and i jure his other leg.

1. That wasn't our coaches...it was our trainers.

2. This happens in like every game across the country. It's professional courtesy because those first few moments can be critical in diagnosing something before the player's trainers get to the other side of the field.

3. First time you've seen it...have you ever seen a player rolling around in pain in front of the other team and no one get near him until his trainers get to him?

 

Okay...we played well enough I couldn't get my MGoSnark out. It's out now...carry on.

This happens quite a bit with trainers. Ultimately, trainers/doctors want to help people who are hurt, regardless of which colors they're wearing. They can at least do an initial assessment and relay it to the opponent's medical personnel when they get there.

A lot of times injured players have a hard time communicating their injuries to medical personnel. They're too busy groaning or they're out of breath or they're distracted by the pain. It's kind of frustrating talking to injured players sometimes, because they don't make a whole lot of sense.
